Mr. Thomas L , Kitnb.il 1 is again at the
helm of tlio Union I'aoillc. The absence
of ( iencr.il Manager Culla way affords him
an opportunity to stab at the HIB : with
his line Italian hand. There is a cam
paign -impending , and this valiant rail
road warrior is spoiling for another light.
It is nn open secret that the brainless
flunkies who conduct the republican
Union Pacific organ arc mere puppets in
his crafty hands. They would not dare lo
make a move which they know will in
volve the Union Pacific in a bitter and
relcntlci-s war , without consulting their
patron saint , who has for years kept
them afloat. In thee memorable sena
torial contests the Union Pacific played
paymaster , quartermaster and com
missary for a grand army ot
political bummers and dead beats ,
of whom Thomas L. Kimbail was
generalissimo. History records that
Kimball's cohorts were overthrown ,
hor.-e , fool and dragoon , by.an unorgan
ized mob of the people. The outcome ol
tins coming campaign will , we feel confi
dent , be moro disastrous to the Union
Pacific and more humiliating to the
crafty schemer who delights in playing
the political boss. Whether Mr. Calla-
way approves or condemns his course in
opening an assault at this time is a mat
ter of no consequence. Mr. Kimbail will
manage somehow lo shift the responsi
bility.
The Adams policy of non-intervention
in politics docs not suit Mr. Kimbail. He
loves a political light for all there is in it ,
even if ho gets Avorstod. To him this
po-.Miin policy is di.-tastelul , and to the
concern that is propped up and kept
alive by railroad job work it is almost
disastrous. It was doubtless this feeling
that prompted the trafllo manager to
order a reopening of the war at any
ha/.ard. Having failed in their attempt
to advertise the editor of the Hr.i : as a
h.vpocrilo and fraud who was waging
mock railroad war and at the saniu
time carrying Union 1'acilio an
nuals in his p6ckct , they returned
to tlyj charge and point to
the red stone front of Iho \ \ building \ \ as
a proof that our opposition , to Colorado
sandstone as a paving material was a
blackmailing sham. While they do not
dare to charge downright bribery , with
the verdict of a recent libel suit fresh in
their memory , they go so far as to inti
mate that the Union Pacific has silenced
the Hiii : on Colorado sandstone by fur
nishing a red-stono front for our building
free of charge. This is of a piece with all
the villainous libels thnt have been
concocted and circulated for years by
Thomas L. Kimbail and his henchmen
Nobody knows hotter than Trnlliu Man.
ager Kimbail that this is a lie coined out
of whole cloth. He knows that the stone
for our building is not Union Pacific
Colorado paving stone. The Colorado
sandstone used for paving purposes is of
a grayish color , while our -tone is red ,
and was not taken from thu same quarry.
Dul even if it had been identical , the fact
of its being used in our building affords
no excuse for intimating a corrupt bar
gain. Our contract was inadu with Inner
brothers , including all masonry and
brickwork. The plan called for a rod
stone front , and the contractor sublet the
masonry , including material , lo Mr. Mcl-
quist. ItwasimniatcrialtouswJie.ro ho
bought his stone so it came within Iho re
quirements of the contract. Wo don't
know to this day whether lie
bought it from the Union Pacific stone
agent or procured itdircet from the owner
of the Colorado quarry. At any rate he
paid for his stone and wo have paid the
Itlncrs for the work and material. Our
opposition to Colorado samlstonn as : i
paving material was based on sound reas
ons , it is not and never will bo a dura
blc paving stone , although it may bo an
excellent material for building pur
poses. We. defy any Union Pacific
organist to produce a single line from the
BII : : in opposition to Colorado sandstone ,
of whatever color , as a building material.
Quito apart from the objection raised
against the Union Pacific sandstone for
paving purposes , was the objection to the
methods employed to foist that material
on our eili/ons against their wish and
will. That objection was sustained by
the courts after a full hearing. If the
Union Pacific agents , in or out of Iho
council , should over attempt a repetition
of the obnoxious and dishonest methods ,
wo shall bo as outspoken and vigorous in
our opposition as we have over boon.
Our Colorado sandstone front is inge
niously made the basis of a proposed ex
change of Union Pacific mileage tickets
with the Hr.j ; , anil Mr. Kimbail snecringly
ami remarks ' 'this '
sarcastically 'advertis
ing' of the Union Pacific corporation is a
big thing , that institution being a new
and unknown affair , and consequently
very anxious to got its business before
the public. " Mr. Kimbail may possess
his little soul In patience. Wo do not
ask any odds of him , oven if he were the
owner of the road Instead of one of
its paid servants , His newspaper llunkies
may enjoy the privilege not only of
their annuals , but of pa ses for their
strikers and drummers , who travel on the
Union Pacific year in and year out in
search of job work and stationery orders ,
while other job printers and stationery
dealers urn compelled to pay for their
transportation. Advertising Is worth
money in the Omaha JJin : , but literally
worthless in the subsidized railroad
sheets , which tire morn appcndagasof job
olllccs. Other railroads as important and
as well known as the Union Pacific
regard it as advantageous to advertise in
the HIK : , and they pay for the use of out
advertising hpaco both in money and in
milage tickets. The Union Pacific , in
spitoof Mr. Kiiuball's aversion , has ad
vertised its lauds and bids for contracts
in this paper , not ns a favor but as u
matter of business. At the sumo time ,
however , let us remark that thousands of
dollars of advertising have been sponged
by the Union Pacific in the shape of local
notices of excursions , state fair trains ,
changes of time ami time tables. There
Is no moro reason for the deadheading
of railroad excursion notices , time
tables , &c. , than them is of dry goods
nnd millinery openings , balls , concerts
ami fairs , or any other business an
nouncement. If a great railroad com
pany cannot afford to pay for the
use of advertising space , nobody else can.
An exchange of mileage tickets for
advertising is in reality moro advantage
ous to the railroad company than an ex-
C-liango of merchandise would bu for ad
vertising space ,
Since the Union Pacific is determined
to rcnow the war upon lids paper with
out any provocation , it must take Iho
responsibility and bear the consequences ,
Wo are read } for il , and have no fears of
the outcome.
Tlie CHinminijV Trial.
The investigation of the charge. * of al
leged bribery preferred by ex-Caplain
Sullivan , of the police force , against
Marshal Cummiugs , Is no-v in progress
before the special committee appointed
by the council. Common decency would
dictate that no effort should be made on
the part of nny new paper to comment
on the case until after all the testimony is
in. A fair , impartial and thorough In
vestigation , and nn unbiased report by
the committee should be satisfactory to
the parlies who trumped up these
charges. If Marshal Cunimmgs , who de
manded the investigation , is proven
guilty of bribery or corruption by unim
peachable testimony , he .should be re
moved and prosecuted to the fullest ex
tent of the law. If , on the other hand ,
the reports about his bribery are a
more piece of sjiitefulucss on the part of
subordinates who imagine that they have
not been fairly treated by the marshal ,
he should be vindicated , and Ins accusers
severely censured , to say the least. Had
the paper , which has been for mouths
clamoring for Marshal Cummings' head ,
been content with publishing the testi
mony and leaving the committee to its
unbiased conclusions there would be no
fault to.find. Hut the malignant attempt
to forestall the committee and to
distort the testimony and create a
false impre ion on the public mind
before half the testimony is in ,
cannot be too severely condemned. Il is
an outrage on common decency , imd
only shows lo what base ends partisan
feeling and a desire to convert our police
force into a political machine will lead.
Wo have no desiru to defend Marshal
Cummings for any act that will not bear
thu fullest investigation. Wo earnestly
protest , however , against the course pur
sued by the democratic organ , which
holds a club over the heads of the demo
cratic members of ( lie committee , and is
attempting to bulldoze thorn into a ver
dict adverse to Marshal Cummings , even
before the defense has had one single wit
ness on the stand.

Tlio Doom ol' Human Hnlr.
, Xcw } ' < nlH'mUl ,
A startling prediction comes from the
Nineteenth Century Club. Dr. William
A. Hammond advances the opinion that
in about ouo thoinand years , which will
carry us to thu year of our Lord S8M-80 ,
all mankind will bo bald. Unless Iho gen
eration living in that ago should choose
to counterfeit their ancestors of the pres
ent day by wearing wjg.s , only smoothly
polished heads , destitute of capillary
covering will bo visible from th" family
circles of theaters or the galleries of
churches.
Dr. Hammond docs not nndurlakoto
predict to what men and women of that
iistant era will resort to supply this du-
Jieiency of hair , or whether they will ro-
ard it as a deficiency at all Hu only
makes u proposition based on his obser
vation of tlio steady increase of baldnc.-'S ,
without oven expressing ttti O'.lmon
whejjii.if ( ho il cltTie ol hair will bo a
iMMiiish or an ornamentation. Perhaps
the esteemed doctor is inclined to regard
it iis the latter , since his own head emu
lates the days of 28S5 , uxccpt as to a light
filamentous fringu which borders ihu
base of thu skull.
It is ditlioiilt to conjecture lo what this
universal baldness may load. If tlio
present fashions blioulu prevail in these
days , U is not improbable that ladiua
may employ distinguished artists to paml
"Mikado" lignres , bird * of bright plum
age or Indiscribablp animals on Iheii
heads , and enterprNng men of buslne * *
may use the smooth space for advertlsm-i
purposes1. If Iadie < decided upon wear
ing wigs the business of the hair-dres er
and the ladj 's maid \v ill be considerably
lightened.
Tf Dr. Hammond is correct in his pre
diction , it Is certain .that the termagant
wife of 2 s : , will not be able to take ! i <
firm n hold upon her husband us the wife
of Iho present time. It may aKo be
finest ioned whether the politicians of that
date will be any more barefaced than
those of 18 5 , even if they should be more
bareheaded.
HORSES THAT SOLDIERS LOVED.
That Seemed n l-'oiul of
Itiitllo as Their Itlder.i.
Several hordes became famous in ( he
war of the rebellion from their associa
tion with famous commanders. Proba
bly the only sun Ivor of them all is "Old
Sorrel. " Stonewall Jackson's charger.
( ieii. Jackson rode him in all the battles
in which ho took part , and was on his
back when he received the wound from
which he died. After passing through
various hand" , Old Sorrel was sent to
Mrs. Jackson , who afterward ga\e him
to the Military inilitulu at Lexington ,
V . lie Is about thirty years old , and his
mane , tail and letloeks have nearly all
disappeared , one hair at a time , through
the persis'teneu of relic hunters. Tlio
horse N still spirited , although still' in Ids
joints. He is n general favorite , and is
greatly petted at thu military in
stitute. In the ordnance museum
on ( loveruor's Island is thu
Mulled and mounted skin of the celebrated
charger that bore ( ion. Sheridan to Win-
eh.-ster "twenty miles away. " llu was
foaled in the fall of ItM at ( irand Kapids
Mich. .and died on October 2 , 1878. Ho
was taken into the army by an plllcer ill
the 2d .Michigan cavalry , of which Sheri
dan was colonel , and was preented to
Sheridan by Capl. Campbell in Hie name
of the olliccrs of the regiment , ( ieti.
Sheridan was on his back in nearly every
battle which ho fought from the begin
ning to thu end of the war. lie was
never wounded , and had no superiors as
a Held horse. Among other color marks
he had three while feet , which are sup
posed by superstitious people to bring
ill-luck to thu rider. 'I his .superstition
will have to be changed slightly in view
of the fortunes ot Sheridan's horse ; three
white feet must now bo construed to
mean ill-luck to the. enemy. Sheridan's
horse was dark not in the sensu of a
presidential candidate and in t lie. heat
of balllo his hair turned to a brillaut
black , doubtless owing to prespiralioii.
"Dick , " a favorite war horse , dicrl in
Oswego , N. V. , last January. Hu wns
born in 18.V.1 in Mexico , that little village
whose old academy has sent many noted
men out into tlio world governors ,
scholars , .statesmen , poets , und scientists.
Dick was as carefully trained as the child
of u fond parent. When , in I8ijl the war
broke out , and the gallant Twenty-
fourlh New York was organized , Oswego
county citizens looked around for a
horse to send with Adjt. Robert Oliver ,
Jr. , to Iho front. Col. James Doyle and
William 1 $ . Pheliis selected Dick , \y\\cn \ \
the regiment hail proceeded as far as HI-
mira. < 'ol. Doyle overtook it , and had the
satisfaction ot seeing Dick mounted by
Adjt. Oliver. Dick went front
with the boys , who pedcil him as they
might a favoritu dog. The lior.-o speedily
acquired an undersUindingof the danger
ous and important work assigned to him.
Hu showed himself an intelligent , well-
disposed animal , sharing tin ; rations and
almost drinking outof the same canteen
with the soldiers. When his human
friends sufU red he seemed to know it and
sympathize with them. Ureut battles
came on in their turn. The lields of
carnage found Dick ami his master at
tliu fore. The streamsof blood , Iho flight
of shells , tint rain of balls , had no terrors
for him. With flashing eyes nnd skin
covered with foam lie dashed through the
horrors of battle , fearless of Iho roar of
artillery and of all the terrible sights and
sounds around him. Ho fought , lij'tiru-
tively speaking , at the second linll Rim ,
Chanccllorville , South Mountain , 1'al-
month , Autietam. Raiipahannuck Cross
ing , and Frederieksburg. Although Dick
was wounded at times , lie never flinched.
Robert Oliver , Jr. , returned to Oswego a
lieutenant colonel , llu died in 1871 , and
Dick was left as a legacy to Robert Oli
ver , his lather. Kvery comfort that n
horse might enjoy has been gratefully
tendered to Dick" , On every Fourth of
July following the war ho was brought
out and mounted by Mr. Oliver us mar
shal of Iho day lo receive thu plaudits
and cheers of thousands. On such occa
sions the old Iiorsii seemed to regain all
his former lire. The martial music , the
war Hags , and the gleam of arms .seemed
to bring back the past to him. lie was a
war horse to the last , and died suddenly
and as pleasantly a.s if ho had been strick
en down by a bullet through thu heart.

In tlie summer of ' 81 I was taking a trip
in a government dispatch boat along the
coast , when ono morning wo nut into
Marblohead in order lo visit Salem , thu
ancient home of witchcraft. Our limo
was limited and wo desired to es

Wo hurried into a carriage and proceeded
to Salem , but while in thu museum of that
city which contains many souvenirs of
the witches I was accosted by u sad-faced
man with piercing black eyes , who had
come , itis Miid , to ask me to say a few
words to thu people of Marblchead. I
firmly , but pleasantly , rcfusc.ii , tin thu
ground of pressing engagements , and
was compelled to repeat my refusal at
least Ihreo limes before the sad-faced
man departed. On thu way back to thu

the door was rudely opened by the sad-
faced man. who again insisted that I
should speak tothu people nf Marblehead ,
Threw limes again I positively declined.
Oim of llio naval olliccrs who was with

whielithe republican orators and joiirn

estimated from thu fact that in spite f
the thorough knowledge of the inai'li n-
cry of their own government posses-o.1
by republicans , vast numbers of them
were thoroughly persuaded that a dem
ocratic president would , in some manner ,
suddenly lower tin tariff nnd thus pro

Inrgol the power of eonirress over I'-

who predicted the street robberies an I
the gentleman who olfered to sell In- *

eye a general closing of the fael'-nos
brought about by some mysterious m n.

The result was that Republicans wiir

one of tlie two parties into which hi1
low-citizens arc divided can be safely i
strucled with this government , is real
half ready for some changes which will
make popular ( lections an Idle form.
The deliverance of ( he country from this
hideous nightmare during tlio past year
is , wu do not hesitate to say , a blessing
only second in importance to the sup
pression of the rebellion , and hardly less
necessary to tlie safety , honor and wel
fare of thu nation. For it all Americans ,
of all parties , ought at the opening of Iho
new year lo bo profoundly thankful. It
nicans at last real peace and real secur
ity.
ity.Only one degree le s valuable is the do-
Iheraneo from the southern bugbear ,
which also the pusl year has witnessed.
Nothing but actual experiment would
haye suiUeed to destroy the old tradition
of tliu slavery period that the southern
people had interests different from or op-
po-cd lo those of the North. Tin-re was
in tin ; republican parly au < li".preatl be
lief that if they got into power , or if : i
president were elected by means of their
votes , they would in some manner ,
which , as with regard to the power of the
president over the tariff , lew examined
seriously for llu < msi-i\i-s , lake inuncnso

estimate of the amount was . Jjinio,000OIII ; )
and divide it among themselves , partly
as coinpcns.-uinn for the emancipated

How they would get hold of tins money ,
how Ihc.y would pcrsiu.de people to lend
it lo the I'nited Stalt-s , if il were nol to
be secured by taxation , and how they
would manage to hi\c : the taxation borne
r
by the north exclusively and nol by Iho
south , was w-vi-r explained , and proba
bly few people ever asked themselves.
The phrase , "llio Confederacy again in
in the saddle , " was in I'aol considered n
snllicii'iit answer ( o all cynical dumnmU
for minute particulars.
L Moreover , although it was tlie pridu
and boast of the republican party that
the war had destroyed shivery , and al
though it was -animal ( article in Ihu re
publican cnvd that it was shivery which
made thcsoulh hostile to the union , ncv-
orlholi-s-s until last year the fact that
slavery was really dead was never thor
oughly brought home lo the minds of thu
voier.s. Very much like thu man who
still feels pains in thu leg lie has lost by
amputation , the party still felt the pangs
of the old south in their bones , and noth
ing Inil u democratic triumph would over
have relieved them. In imagination
of multitudes , the Yanceys , thu Rhutts ,
the UrooKsus , and all the other liru eaters
were still l > randi-.liing their plantation
whips , and preaching thu degrada
tion of labor , and threatening
dissolution for thu siiko of the
